I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 65, Section 1.5: I Have No Muscles

"Actually, you can't see the bloodstains when you're wearing a black dress," Mu Yegui said, looking down at the slightly darker patch on the hem of her skirt, puzzled.

This police officer is really strange; he's so aggressive, it's almost as if he's about to find evidence and smash it in her face.

What gave him the courage to believe that she was the murderer?

Mu Yegui turned to look at herself in the full-length mirror, her expression as blank as ever, as if she had never changed. She slightly raised her hand, trying to touch her reflection, but was startled and withdrew it the instant she touched it.

Lowering her eyes, she began to wonder if this was real, or perhaps just a dream...

She let herself fall backward, landing on the bed. Her cool, silver eyes were fixed on the white ceiling, her gaze as calm and still as a deep, ancient pool, reflecting no scenery.

"Oh, don't be shy if you want to touch me, feel free to touch me~" Mu Yin said in a flirtatious tone.

"You're overthinking it, Xiao Yin. What's the difference between touching you and touching myself?" Mu Yegui sat up, looked down at his hands, and said slowly.

"Tsk," Mu Yin irritably rolled over, picked up the white pillow, and threw it towards the door.

Whether he hadn't controlled his strength well or not, there was a loud 'bang' as the bedroom door was smashed to pieces by the pillow, which had hit like a cannonball. Mu Yin gave an awkward laugh after seeing this, and then refused to come out no matter what.

Just kidding, coming out at this time would only invite trouble! Anyway, he wouldn't do that kind of thing.

"What?! What happened?!" Nicole ran upstairs and saw the shattered door, splintered and broken, and a white pillow riddled with splinters. He turned pale and gave an awkward laugh as he looked at Mu Yegui, who sat on the bed staring at him expressionlessly.

Mu Yegui jumped off the bed and walked to Conier. Under Conier's gaze, he slowly picked up the white pillow from the crumbs, and gently patted it.

She looked up at Conier, whose face was pale, nodded to him, and apologized, "I accidentally knocked the pillow over. I'm sorry to have disturbed your investigation."

"Ha, ha..." How much force must it have taken to damage the door like this?

Conier, his face pale, forced a smile as he looked at the seemingly delicate and easily pushed little girl, seriously suspecting that she was all muscle once she took off her clothes.

Mu Yegui seemed to know what Conier was thinking, and stretched out his arm to gesture at him, saying, "I don't have much muscle, you see."

Her arm was fair and thin, without an ounce of fat, and completely devoid of muscle. It was hard to connect her with the terrifying strength that had just destroyed the door.

If Conier hadn't witnessed Mu Yegui carelessly destroying the coffee table, he would never have believed that this little girl had such strength. But now, he was absolutely certain that this little girl could crush them like ants in a matter of minutes if she was unhappy.

“Officer, I saw the killer’s face. He might come back to seek revenge. I hope you can protect me.” Mu Yegui put the pillow back on the bed, looked at Conier with a serious expression, and said slowly.

Conier: "..."

He really wanted to reply with "Do you need it?" but out of professional courtesy, he decided to keep quiet. This was a powerful figure he couldn't afford to offend, so he'd just have to accept whatever she said.

"Excuse me for interrupting your conversation. I am Shu Ming. I would like to ask for the name of the first discoverer." Shu Ming knocked on the wall and leaned against it as he spoke slowly.

"Ah." Mu Yegui was stunned for a moment before realizing that she hadn't introduced herself yet, so she said to the two of them seriously, "Mu Yegui, please guide me."

"Then, Ye Gui, could I buy you a cup of coffee later? There are some things I'd like to ask you in detail." Shu Ming nudged Conier as he walked up to Mu Ye Gui, asking with a light laugh. "Are you trying to stop me from contacting other people, officer?" Her cool silver eyes remained as calm as ever as she glanced at Shu Ming and asked.

"How could that be? There are indeed very important things to do, such as protecting you, asking about the killer's appearance, and also asking where your friend went." Shu Ming smiled with narrowed eyes, looking like a cunning old fox plotting something.

Mu Yegui glanced at the messy doorway and finally nodded in agreement.

It seems there are no other options...

But don't detectives usually appear in detective story collections?
Why isn't it here?

Or did it not actually happen?

"I am Professor Flavro's student. Is something wrong, Professor?" A clear voice came from downstairs. It was neither soft nor loud, but the three people upstairs could hear it clearly.

The two police officers in front of Mu Yegui were stunned. Shu Ming seemed thoughtful, while Conier gritted his teeth and muttered, "That damn Shui Qi is causing trouble again!!"

Water Qi?

Mu Yegui's memory was quite good; upon hearing the name, she even recalled the young man who had stopped her as soon as she arrived in the capital, trying to invite her to join his group.

Because he was quite good-looking, she paid special attention to him. Although she didn't agree to date him, she at least remembered him.

If she wasn't sure before, now that she heard Shui Qi's name, Mu Yegui was certain. She was currently in a instance, but as part of that instance; that is, she was forced to participate in it, not as a conqueror, but as a participant.

She needs to cooperate with this group's investigation to find the murderer.

It doesn't seem like it would matter if I didn't cooperate, but I'm just wondering if I'll get into trouble.

Ultimately, it has nothing to do with her. All she needs to do is tell the story and its outcome. When it ends depends on when these players find the truth.

This is a really troublesome instance.

But where did Fisch go?
She was certain that Fish was not bound by the dungeon's barrier; after all, he had already trespassed twice, so this third time would be a piece of cake for him.

The reason he hasn't appeared might actually be related to this matter; he's currently hiding in the shadows, observing this place.

Given Fisch's personality, he is indeed capable of doing such a thing. Impersonating Detective Flaro to obtain information and then eliminating the latter would be a murder case in the Kingdom of Truth, but in the Kingdom of Fairy Tale, it would seem like a trivial matter.

In the fairy tale kingdom, the law is very weak and even the monarchy is supreme. Only the kingdom of truth is a society governed by the rule of law. In other places, the death of one or two people will not cause much of a ripple.

The situation is particularly serious because it is in the Kingdom of Truth. However, if Fish is indeed the mastermind behind this, then this group is likely to fail in this mission.

This is just her speculation; it may not be true.

It remains to be seen how this group investigates, and hopefully Fisch didn't actually do such a thing.
